We would like students at Boston College to help us a this grow, Treat Accessibly, the most impactful community initiative supporting differently-abled children in Canada that is moving into the U.S. in 2021 in Massachusetts and 7 other pilot states. The expansion into the U.S. comes after an unprecedented positive social, community, media, government and non-profit response for 2-years in Canada and the desire of our champion Partner RE/MAX to support expansion. Watch our impact video! The Treat Accessibly grass roots movement was started by one dad, Rich Padulo, and has since that has already inspired 100,000 Canadian homes to participate. With the Support of partners RE/MAX, Home Depot and a to be announced candy brand, we aim to have 12 million households participating in North America by 2024. One home for every child and youth that is differently-abled. We would like students to help us a this grow in Canada and introduce in the U.S. We would like students to help us with creating stand out media and community relations content that is aligned with our vision, mission, and sector. We will ensure the student has a clear understanding of what these elements are for our organization. Rich Padulo, Treat Accessibly Founder, is also a veteran marketing entrepreneur with top-tier international clients. His experience as a partnership, sponsorship and CSR expert in the marketing space helped propel Treat Accessibly to the tremendous success quickly while keeping it a grass roots social movement. Why is Treat Accessibly - a Halloween Movement so important to the North America right: Did you know that 1.3 Billion people have a disability. Differently-abled people are largest minority in the world today. Today, 400,000 Canadian and 12,000,000 American children identify as having a disability. A disability that could very well stop them from being part of a traditional children love - trick-or-treating. Your stairs or other hurdles most don’t think about - could be what’s stopping them. Join us and 50,000+ homes, in Canada, that have already planted our sign of change on their lawn at Halloween to champion an Accessible future. Let’s show, not tell, our kids how to be Inclusive. Let’s hack Halloween, the biggest night of community togetherness, for the kids, to be the night North American champions Accessible Inclusion in all things. Let’s show the world what can happen. One night to help change tomorrow. Happy Halloween Every BODY!
